Capturing the traditional costumes of the two countries, with a modern artistic approach, Michael Pappas through this particular photographic installation shows the cultural conversation between people and customs.

The curator of the photographic installation, Vangelis Ioakeimidis, notes that in the works of Michael Pappas, the “inoculation” of tradition with new values, and of the modern way of life with spiritual goods handed down from the ancestors can be distinguished.
